New RB header = check engine

I just got my new RB header on and it was a pain in the *** when it shouldnt have been all the studs were in bad shape so i had to take them all out and retap all the holes for new bolts so i finnally got it on and started up the car with just the header and a gutted stock cat on there it idled horribly and there was quite a bit of smoke which didnt worry me all that much but the chech engine light was on too i only had it running for a few minutes then hsut it off. Should i be concerned about the idle smoke and the engine light or just wait and see how it drives. Sorry for the long explination But thax.

You have a 91, pull the engine codes and see what's giving you the error.

Ground the single green plug by the battery,turn the key on to acc. and watch the check engine light.
